The gateway to another world
There are places that must not only be travelled to, but also experienced - the 5★ Hôtel Hiva Oa Hanakee Lodge on the Marquesas Islands is one such place. Situated high above the ocean, with views of the imposing volcanic peaks and the unspoilt expanse of the Pacific, this hotel embodies the authentic spirit of Polynesia. A stay here means not only luxury and exclusivity, but also a journey into the depths of an impressive culture.

If you are looking for the original, you should definitely go on a traditional horseback excursion through the emerald green valleys of Hiva Oa, where the mighty tikis of ancient cultures silently watch over the past. Alternatively, an excursion to the mighty Me'ae sites, the sacred places of worship of the Marquesas, which exude a fascinating aura of history and spirituality, is well worthwhile.
A journey that changes
Hiva Oa Hanakee Lodge is much more than a hotel - it is a gateway to a world of unspoilt nature and unadulterated beauty. Here, breathtaking landscapes merge with the deep-rooted culture of the Marquesas to create a place that leaves a lasting impression on visitors. Anyone longing for a stay that goes beyond the ordinary will discover one of the last unspoilt spots in the world here - and with it a piece of themselves.
Experiences between tradition and adventure
Here, in the footsteps of Paul Gaugin and Jacques Brel, a world full of mysticism and originality unfolds. Anyone who gets involved with the island will be touched by its soul. A guided hike to the archaeological sites of Puamau is a must for anyone who wants to feel the secret of Polynesian ancestral culture. There, hidden in the lush greenery, the largest tikis in Polynesia rise from the ground - stone guardians of a forgotten time.
For the adventurous, a boat excursion along the dramatic coastline beckons. The wild rock formations and hidden bays can only be admired in all their splendour from the water. And if you hop on a horse, you can explore the deep valleys of Atuona - a journey through unspoilt nature that sets the Marquesas apart from other islands in French Polynesia.
The connection to nature can also be felt in the lodge's spa area. Here, guests can enjoy traditional Polynesian massages with fragrant oils from local plants, while the view of the vast, turquoise-coloured lagoon contributes to complete relaxation.
Flavour experiences with a view of infinity
The culinary journey at Hiva Oa Hanakee Lodge takes you through the flavours of the Marquesas. The in-house restaurant serves local specialities that combine the flavours of the ocean and the tropical gardens. Fish and seafood, fresh from the surrounding waters, take centre stage here - whether tender poisson cru in coconut milk or succulent grilled tuna with exotic spices.
A special experience is the traditional Umu feast, where meat and vegetables are cooked in hot lava stones - an ancient cooking method that preserves the flavours of Marquesas cuisine. Homemade fruit juices or a fine drop of French wine are served with the meal, while the sunset bathes the scenery in golden hues.
Elegance in harmony with nature
Hiva Oa Hanakee Lodge offers an exclusive selection of comfortable bungalows that blend harmoniously into the tropical landscape. The spacious accommodation is decorated in warm wood tones and combines Polynesian craftsmanship with modern comfort. From the private terraces, the view sweeps over the jagged cliffs and the endless ocean - a natural spectacle that constantly changes with the changing light conditions.
The panoramic bungalows are particularly impressive, with large glass fronts that bring the landscape inside. The gentle sounds of nature, the murmur of the sea and the singing of exotic birds accompany your stay, while comfortable four-poster beds and exclusive natural materials ensure deep relaxation.
German nationals do not require a visa to enter French Polynesia.
The climate in French Polynesia is tropical, warm and humid. There are hardly any seasonal fluctuations. The best time to visit is European spring, summer and autumn. The Tuamotu archipelago enjoys more sunshine than anywhere else in French Polynesia. Therefore, it is always a good time to travel there. The clarity of the water is at its best between October and May (ideal for diving), while the mildest weather can be enjoyed between June and September. Our top tip - try the low season (April - May and October - November) to enjoy the best combination of diving and sunshine. If whale watching is your main motivation, July to November is the best time to visit.
The Federal Foreign Office recommends vaccinations against hepatitis A for travelling, and against hepatitis B for long-term stays or special exposure. The Federal Foreign Office generally recommends checking and completing the standard vaccinations according to the current vaccination calendar of the Robert Koch Institute on the occasion of each trip.
